There a few steps to follow.
Step 1:- Go to the Google Map website and search for the location. Google will show you the map.
Step 2:- Then you will see many options including “nearby, save, send to your phone, share“. Click on the share option.
Step 3:- You will see the short URL which is used to share the map. There is another option to Embed the map. Click on that and you will see the preview.
There would be different options with the account of the size of the map. You can use the small size, medium size, large size or any custom size.
Step 4:- Copy the embed code and paste it anywhere on your WordPress website. You can use it in the sidebar, in the footer.
You would be happy to see a nice looking Google map on your website.
As you have seen during the map generation, you can edit the size again.

Most of the WordPress users go for the plugins because they don’t know that it’s so simple.
